In addition to the app, I also used the website a lot (magicscroll.net), but it hasn’t been available lately. Why? Thank you

al meglio non c'è mai fine. Dopo aver scoperto il sito Readability e potuto vederlo in Mercury la sua fine. Ho continuato a migliorarmi con altre estensioni tipo Mercury, estensioni ottime come Reader View. Eppure questa applicazione mi piace molto perché contiene delle novità mai scoperte prima.

Wish there were more choices in web readers. I used it to read my daily scripture via email. It would only read half of it.
